The Perfect "Perfect Christmas" Book
It wouldn't be Christmas without the annual appearance at SteynOnline of our old friend Persimmon Coxcomb. ~and don't forget Martha Stewart is one of Mark's guests on The Mark Steyn Christmas Show (available on CD from the SteynOnline store), in which Martha critiques, brutally, Mark's seasonal baking efforts. It all seems so much easier in the books... |

Steyn Live!See Mark Steyn From The Front Row!
Listen to Rack Your Brain on 970 WFLA at 6:55am all this week to win tickets to see Mark In Tampa Bay. Steyn's Song of the WeekHave Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Continuing our December series on great Christmas songs and the men who wrote them, here's Mark's two-part audio tribute to Hugh Martin, writer of one of the most popular of all seasonal standards - including, from the Steyn archives, a rare live performance of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" by the composer himself. To hear Part One, click here. For Part Two, click here. SteynPostsGlow Worms and It Girls
If you're still struggling with holiday gift ideas as we count down to Christmas, the Pundette reminds us of some of the many charms of Mark's Christmas album with Jessica Martin. She concludes that her favorite track is the tale of "The Christmas Glow Worm", which you can download here. But be warned – "Glow Worm" is a real ear worm, or Ohrwurm, as they say in Germany. Miss Martin is in especially fine voice on "Glow Worm", but there's only so much duetting with Mark a girl can take. So Jessica has branched out and published her first comic book, It Girl, a biographical portrait of 1920s movie star Clara Bow. A few weeks ago, Mark was at the beautiful Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield, Ohio, which opened in 1928 with Clara Bow and a special screening of Get Your Man. So he essayed, somewhat ill-advisedly, the world's first Clara Bow/Miley Cyrus joke. Jessica's words and pictures on Miss Bow are far sounder, and you can order the comic direct from her online store for £3.50 - which is just under six bucks in US, Canuck or Oz – plus shipping. If you live in the south-eastern United States, why not give the gift of Steyn live and in person this Christmas season? Early in the New Year, Mark will be making a Steynamite snowbird tour across Florida, from Jacksonville to St Petersburg, Fort Pierce to Fort Myers, and finally to Miami. Tickets for all performances are on sale now, and they're a perfect gift for Steyn fans who know him from print and broadcasting but have never seen him live on stage.

"The best night of my entire life," declared satisfied customer M Craig Williams after catching Steynamite in Toronto.

"I don't want to be emotional but this is one of the greatest moments of my life," declared Nelson Mandela upon meeting the Spice Girls in 1997. So I like to think he would have appreciated the livelier aspects of his funeral observances. The Prince of Wales, who was also present on that occasion in Johannesburg, agreed with Mandela on the significance of their summit with the girls: "It is the second-greatest moment in my life," he said. "The greatest was when I met them the first time." His Royal Highness and at least two Spice Girls attended this week's service in Soweto, and I'm sure it was at least the third-greatest moment...

For much of last year, a standard trope of President Obama's speechwriters was that there were certain things only government could do. "That's how we built this country — together," he declared. "We constructed railroads and highways, the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. We did those things together." As some of us pointed out, for the cost of Obama's 2009 stimulus bill alone, you could have built 1,567 Golden Gate Bridges... Mann vs SteynFootball and Hockey
